On the other hand, teacher's strictness with %46.5 and teacher's stubbornness with %8.7 had the least effect on increasing student's learning
Conclusions: The results obtained regarding the correct communication skills between teacher and students as the most effective in better learning physiology lessons and the highest scores, respectively, were:: teacher's scientific mastery, teacher's expression, respect for the student's personality by the teacher, teacher's up to dateness, teacher's flexibility, teacher's sobriety, teacher's appropriate class management, teacher's high self-confidence, teacher's patience, teacher's kindness, and teacher's interest in teaching.
